“This was an absolutely incredible tour!!! Our guide Khadaffi was really great. He was super friendly, knowledgeable, and he was patient with us when we kept getting distracted by the turtles. He helped us find a shark and a good 20 turtles. He pointed out interesting things about the mangroves and found a live conch to show us.”
